10 Modern Unity Candles

unity candles for wedding

When my husband and I got married, we opted to pour two different colors of sand into one large vase as a way of saying that our two lives were now becoming one. It was a new idea eight years ago and we loved it. Half way through the ceremony, however, as we were pouring out our sand, we realized that maybe we should have run-through this before hand. My sand was not pouring; it had some how clumped together while my husband's flowed freely. Suddenly, my yellow sand plopped out of my vase and into the joint one with a little thud. Instead of mixing all together, the  unity vase ended up looking like a sandwich of yellow and white. 

Nonetheless, the sentiment remained the same: Two becoming one. And if you're into metaphors at your ceremony, I have a few unity candles you just might enjoy. What I love about these beauties is how they can seamlessly integrate into your decor, whether rustic or modern. They can also be used later as decor in your house. And, although they definitely don't look like your parent's outdated unity candle, they can still carry along the tradition perfectly! Click the links below to shop.
